Nov. 14. The circumspect providence of the royal majesty, which, according
Westminster, to the qualities of things and the events of times, must often change
ministers and officials and transfer them from place to place and
from office to office, if ever it transfers a minister of faithful service
from a higher to a lower office through force of necessity or utility
does not intend thereby to diminish the honour of the person transferred
nor does he who ardently toils (insudal) in royal services for the good
of the realm, whatsoever honourable office he take in hand, suffei
loss of honour by change of office ; wherefore, since the king's clerk.

the magnates of the realm to the office of the escheatry on this side
Trent, and whom afterwards the king appointed as treasurer of the
Exchequer in satisfaction of his virtuous deserts, and who for some
time served the king in that office usefully and faithfully, has been
discharged therefrom, not on account of his demerit but by the
importunity of sundry persons, the king, retaining full confidence
in his proved and provident circumspection in the said offices, and
being unwilling to be deprived of his fruitful services, has committed
